The Twitterverse had a lot to say about the Houston Astros' trade for Toronto Blue Jays’ pitcher Roberto Osuna, who is serving a 75-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s policy on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse, after an assault charge earlier this year.

I grew up a fan of the Astros. I like covering the team and genuinely like and respect so many of the players and staff there. I also wholeheartedly disagree with the organization when it comes to the Osuna trade.

I do not condone what he did in any way shape or form but he’s been punished for it and this is a business. The Astros NEEDED a closer and they got him. They have a VERY strong locker room so they will let him know how it’s going to be when he gets there.

I can’t recall being this conflicted about my hometown team. Like you, I’ve been a fan since early childhood. As a husband, & father of a daughter Osuna’s accused behavior is revolting. I just never thought we would go down a road like this in order to win. Sad....

The Astros in essence are playing to their base with this Osuna deal. And as we all know, in 2018, that is a dicey, divisive game to play. Most casual Astros fans probably can't look at this club quite the same way they did yesterday. @LandryLocker@TheFreddyD@GallantSays

I wrote something about the Osuna trade that will likely get me in trouble with the Astros (ie, getting credentials). I'm going to sit on it for a little bit and take a deep breath, but suffice it to say that the Astros Orwellian doublespeak does not sit well with me.

As with the Yankees' decision to trade for Aroldis Chapman at the time that went down: The Astros must fully own their choice to take Roberto Osuna, no matter what details emerge in his case. They cannot hide behind 'We didn't know.'

Let's be clear: trading for Osuna is a pretty clear indication that you're willing to leverage his reduced trade value due to his domestic violence case into extra wins on the baseball field. It is the worst possible message to send to your fans. Really, really gross.

Unless you have ever come home to find your Mom shaking in terror, with bruises all over her body and face, you can miss me with these "Everyone deserves a second chance" remarks.You have no idea what the hell you are talking about.I will NOT be cheering for Roberto Osuna.

The one silver lining for me about the Osuna trade is it allowed me to have a very good, frank discussion with my 16-year old son on the seriousness of domestic violence and that winning baseball games should not be more important than this issue. #Astros

Okay so Justin Verlander went off on a minor league player who abused his gf and Osuna is suspended for similar reasons. Osuna is now an Astro. So does that mean Verlander will tell him what a piece of shit he is and how he should never play baseball again?...

I don’t have a lot to say about the Osuna trade other than this: shame on the fucking Astros, shame on Jeff Luhnow, whose prior good reputation should be gone, and shame on the league and PA for concocting a penalty that incentivizes playoff teams to “buy low” on domestic abusers
